In XP Pro, you can use the Group Policy editor to set very fine-grained
permissions and restrictions. Start>Run>gpedit.msc [enter]. If you have Pro
and wish to try out the Group Policy editor, be very careful as it is
completely possible to lock yourself out. Questions about using Group
Policy should be posted in its newsgroup:

If you have XP Home, you don't have the ability to do that. In that case,
look into using the MS Shared Computer Toolkit.
